Originally posted by Muddy Bud View PostThat's what they told us in 2007. Stayed hot stacked for a hitch. At the start of the next hitch had to lay off my floor hands. At the end of my hitch had to lay off my Derrick hand and driller. By my next hitch, I was offshore cause I wasn't sticking around to see if rig managers were next. Been out here ever since where contracts are a little expensive to just pay out.

Originally posted by bphillips View PostStill the same amount per rig but when they lay down the rigs they layoff the lower level (floorhand, motor man) positions and move derrickmen and drillers from the stacked rigs into those positions on rigs that are still running.

I stacked a rig there last hitch and will be doing another one next week, and hey aren't all hot stacked we bought contracts out on two of them, out of the 17 that are there right now 12 came from California and up north bc they believe when it picks up the Permian is where it will be first, and yes they are standing then bc it's only 50 acres and they have 40 rigs coming in
